I have never tired of reading Walker's account of catching the 44lb er - which I first read in his book 'No Need To Lie' - inspirational to a then 15 year old and still so to this day.

To the man who for me started it all
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
